DISGRACE.

The cable news yesterday disclosed the
~uneoneealed pleasure with which Boulan-
gers disgrace is regarded in German mill
tary circles. lie was the most dangerous
man in France, as far as the Germans were
concerned, no to the moment OF his deposit
ton from high command in the French
army. When a brilliant soldier becomes
the idol of the Parisian populace he is in a
fair way to the control Of the destinies OF
that tickle nation, and. when he gets con-
troll. to maintain his prestige he must sat.
isiy the national thirst for glory" At the
present time tho glory that went down in
the series OF disasters following Sedan can
only be recouped by the retaking OF Alsac.
and Lorraine. When it beeame evident to
the present French Government that Bou-
LANCER was encouraging that sentiment and
preparing to pose as the Napoleon OF the
hour, it became expedient in the interests
Of peace to remove his pernicious influence.
The scandal about tho sale OF decorations
is asserted by the official press OF Germany
to have been q deep.laid scheme OF Ferry to
get back to power on the ruins OF official
regulations which would result from these
disclosures. It seems o reasonable to
suppose that the trap for General Boulan-
ger was laid by the present Government to
edectually disgrace q man Who was following
too closely in the Napoleonic traditions.
and whose ability and brilliant military
talent were more and more every day draw
ing attention to him as the coming man:
There can be little doubt that the Ministry
will deprive him of his command now they
have him in their power, since he has &C.
knowledged the indiscretion of which he
was guilty in the language used by him.
This will prevent him attaining power i'm
mediately, but will it disgrace him in the
eyes OF the people7 He has been indiscreet,
but 81 indiscretion such as his, in using
language of an insubordinate character,
can be readily condoned by the people. The
French Government may make a hero of
Boulanger by too harsh treatment, espe.
cially az the Radical element in the Cham 4
Der of Deputies stand ready to take him
up. In any event the return of Ferry
ia power by the disgrace of the Ministry is /
by no means assured, and that feature OF
the case which the Germans would gladly \
see the outcome of the present military +
scandal is likely to be deferred for some
time. They are relieved of the constant
menace to the present peace conditions
which they know q soldier OF B~oulanger's
ability in high command ever presents.
As long as hie intellect was devoted to rails /
ing the standard Of efficiency Of the French
army, the inevitable conflict doomed up in /
the future threateningly. With Boulanger
disgraced q weight OF apprehension is re-
moved for the present, and they can look
to the present republican Government to
be on the watch for a coup d'etat in the
shape OF . movement from the masses to |
raise their hero to power. |

A GEs1IoN is made to put telegraph
lines under the same legal restrictions al
railroads are 10 under by incorporating
a provision to that effect in the Interstate
Commerce law. Amend ments will have to
be made to this law next session. and it's
provisions for control of railroad tariffs
can be 80 extended to telegraph lines az to
regulate charges on a uniform basis, COW
that competition is practically ended.
This is a much more feasible and simple
remedy than Government control.

III. s,,rama Court of tho Territory yes
te,day adjudged James A.. Murray s "roo
Of contempt ofcourt, and lined n''n
and costs. the latter amounting to $ovo-
$500 in all. n..-
The case Of contempt for which Mr.. MUIR
raw was fined is q somewhat peculiar ono
and shows the ssgacity with which 'na'
individual can concoct and carry ooe 'n..
cate schemes. Last year the D1str'c.
Court decided the case Of Murray against
the claimants of the surface ground OF 'n0
Smokehouse lode in favor OF the iormer'
The claimants appealed their cases TO 'ne
Supreme Court. aud they were to De hea'o
in January last. 1t appears that Murray
cot the idea into his head that the higher
court might reverse the decision Of tne
lower. aod he concluded to put
IN n lob on it.. Before the cases came up
for hearing, Murray went to another man
and gave him $3.50. telling him to take tne
money to Murphy & Cannon and lnstruc'
them TO bet it with him Murray on the
decision OF the Supreme Court concerning
THE sMOKEaousE CASES,
at the ga nj time telling the man TO De sure
and not say where the money came from
Mr.. Murphy, OF the firm. took the money
and sta rted out to hunt up hurry. whom

IN bet you $780, eaid Murphy. that

Of the lower court in the Smokehoose

to IT, the addition being an i~nsinuation
that as Murphy was betting, the surface

had given it to him. Then the principals
to the wager we're arrested up.and compelled
to make affidavit as to the stipulations OF
the same. The result was that the insinu-
alton about the conrt was traced to Muir.
ray. A bench warrant was issued for him
and he was taken into "urt. His trial
was postponed a plumber of times, owing to
the inability OF some OF the witnesses to
reach Helena. a heavy snow storm at one
time blockading them at Garrison.
It is stated by parties who claim to
know the facts in the case, that Murray's
object wal to have people believe that the
court was being bribed by the surface

The 5000 costs in the case will not cove
one corner OF the expenses incurrtd by
the witnesses who attended the trial, one
OF them stating that he had made six trips
to Helena on the same mission.
